A great interactive app for toddlers to second graders who like to play with puzzles, & helps them to develop critical thinking & mental reasoning skills. A puzzle game that allows students to choose the number of puzzle pieces from 4 to 36, & gives audio & visual hints. Select the level of difficulty from easy, medium, & hard. The easy level starts with part of the puzzle filled in, while the hard level makes the students fill in the complete puzzle. To make it harder still for older students, remove the visual hints. This removes the ghost image behind the puzzle. The best part of all is that students, teachers, & parents can add their own images to create their own unique puzzle & categories. To really personalize the app even more, parents & teachers can add their own Success Sounds by recording their own praises for their little students. What a great thing for students to hear either their parents or teachers telling them great job or how cleaver they are! This is a fully customizable, FREE app from Grasshopper Apps. This is one app not to miss & download. (free)
Players visually scan an array of images & symbols to find the single pair as quickly as possible. Multiplayer capability makes this a great game for a small group of students! (iPad – free)
A game about dental hygiene with monster patients, & it helps students to practice fine motor skills. Monster Mouth DDS lets you take control of being a dentist for an array of wacky monster patients, each of which has a unique complaint that you'll have to deal with as quickly as you can, while inflicting as little pain as possible.
A great & simple app to have students create cartoon stories. Students select their actors & background, & tap record. The app will record their voices & movements as they move their characters around the screen. There are themes such as cowboys, pirates, fairies, monsters, American history, so much more. It comes with the Fairy Tale package, but there are in-app purchases to buy more. There is also the option of buying the full version the Director's Pass, which happens to allow you to make your own characters. A great way for having students practice creating stories & characters. There is also a Puppet Pals Pocket for the iPod & Puppet Pals 2 for both the iPad & iPod. (iPad - free/$2.99)
